The wilderness forest in the back mountain is deep and lush, with a faint earthy cold air Spiritual Qi mixed in the forest. The deeper you go, the darker the surrounding light becomes.
Not long after, Zhou Qi arrived at the long-abandoned Spirit-Sealing Abyss mining valley.
He quickly ran towards the coordinates he had memorized last time. At the entrance of the valley, there were piles of rocks and lush grass.
Along the way, I didn't see a single disciple.
Arriving at the location soon, Zhou Qi explored Divine Sense underground, passed through obstacles all the way, kept avoiding, and finally arrived at the cave again.
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this was the biggest confidence he dared to make the bold statement of breaking through Nascent Soul in one month.
Divine Sense quickly scanned the surroundings, and Zhou Qi soon found a narrow crack leading to the ground on the rock wall beside him.
He jumped into the mining valley and steadily went deeper along the deep mine tunnel.
The air deep underground is moist and cold. Walking quickly, you quickly reach the bottom of the crack.
Zhou Qi once again used his spiritual mind to investigate, and found that there was still a foot-thick rock layer away from the karst cave grotto.
Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment and immediately ran Earth Element Cultivation Method.
Earthy yellow Spiritual Power slowly rippled and climbed up the rock wall.
After a while, the hard rock became a bit softer.
Zhou Qi's heart lit up, he picked up Startling Rainbow Saber and used it as a shovel to dig.
In just one cup of tea, the thick rock formations were completely dug through, and an open natural grotto suddenly appeared in front of us.
The grotto is empty and deep, with countless thick stalactites hanging upside down from the dome, and a fist-sized Concentration Spirit Stone is condensed on each stone tip.
The ground is filled with spiritual stones piled up into mounds, and the light blue spiritual light surges and flows, filling the entire cave. A warm halo spreads out, like a secret cave sky.
Seeing such a rich fortuitous opportunity, Zhou Qi felt heat surge in his heart, he quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and stabilized his mind.
He did not rashly collect on a large scale, but played it safe first.
The spirit stones on the stalactites in the dome are located high and cannot be reached by Yin-Patterned Mole Rat, so they can be collected first.
Zhou Qi tapped his toes, jumped onto the rock wall, clasped the rough rock wall with one hand to steady his body, and quickly picked up Concentration Spirit Stone on the tip of the stalactite with the other hand.
One by one, the warm and clear spiritual stones fell into Storage Bag, and the light blue spiritual light lingered in the palm of the hand. The warmth was mixed with the slightest coolness, which was refreshing.
Fifty pieces, a hundred pieces...
Zhou Qi moves faster and faster, Divine Sense always maintains maximum coverage, alert to every movement around it.
There are more and more spiritual stones in Storage Bag.
He roughly estimated that in just half an hour, he had already collected nearly 400 pieces.
Zhou Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the surging excitement, jumped down from the stalactite, and turned to the pile of spiritual stones on the ground.
The spiritual stones on the ground are piled more densely, but the risk is also greater.
Those Yin-Patterned Mole Rat shuttle through the cracks in the underground rocks and may emerge from any direction at any time.
He walked lightly, squatted down, alternated his hands, and collected the spirit stones Storage Bag row by row.
Five hundred coins, seven hundred coins...
Just when he collected the eight hundredth piece, a subtle fluctuation suddenly appeared at the edge of Divine Sense.
Zhou Qi's movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly became concentrated.
Coming!
Not one, but a group!
Divine Sense The detection is getting clearer and clearer. Deep in the natural stone crevices on the northwest side of the grotto, dozens of green cold lights are approaching quickly, the sound of fine rustling is getting denser and denser, and a harsh hissing is faintly heard.
"I discovered it so quickly..." Zhou Qi frowned and made quick calculations in his mind.
He glanced at the pile of more than 400 spiritual stones left at his feet, and then at the group of gophers approaching from the northwest.
You can't fight hard.
There is no end to the killing of these beasts, so fighting head-on will only waste time, and the louder the movement, the more gophers will be attracted.
He must lure them away.
Zhou Qi stood up, took out a few High-Grade Spirit Stone from Storage Bag, and held them in the palm of his hand.
When Spiritual Power was injected, the spiritual light on the surface of the spirit stone suddenly surged, like bright lights, which was particularly dazzling in the dark grotto.
Then, he jerked toward the northwest.
The three spiritual stones drew three arcs and hit the rock wall on the other side of the grotto, making a crisp collision sound. The spiritual light exploded and flickered several times in the darkness.
The direction of the gopher group suddenly changed.
Those green eyes all turned to the direction where the spirit stone fell, neighing sounds came one after another, and gray-black figures rushed over like a tide.
Zhou Qi didn't move.
He squatted beside the pile of spiritual stones, held his breath, and suppressed the breath in his body to the lowest level.
Earthy yellow light circulates on the surface of his body, blending his whole body with the surrounding rocks.
The first group of gophers rushed past him three feet away, their gray-black fur almost brushing the edge of his vision, and their sharp claws scratched the rocks, making a harsh friction sound.
But they didn't find him.
The second batch and the third batch followed closely behind, so densely packed that there was no end as far as the eye could see.
Almost all the gophers in the northwest corner of the grotto came out in full force and rushed towards the location where the spiritual stones fell.
Zhou Qi waited for five breaths.
After confirming that the last group of gophers were far away, he stood up suddenly, his hands as fast as afterimages, and frantically collected the remaining four to five hundred spirit stones Storage Bag.
Nine hundred pieces.
A thousand pieces!
His fingers quickly shuttled through the pile of spiritual stones, and several spiritual stones fell into his bag with every breath.
Sweat fell from his forehead, dripped on the blue spiritual stone, and was evaporated into mist by the spiritual light.
One thousand one hundred pieces.
One thousand two hundred pieces!
The moment the last spirit stone fell into Storage Bag, his Divine Sense shrank suddenly.
In all directions, strange movements occurred at the same time.
Not one place, but everywhere.
Dense green light spots emerged from the stone cracks in the four directions of northeast, southeast, southwest and due west at the same time.
The fierce light in those eyes was stronger than before, and the screams were sharp and harsh, vibrating back and forth in the closed grotto, making the eardrums hurt.
Zhou Qi stood up suddenly and quickly glanced around.
There are already more than 1,200 Concentration Spirit Stone piled in his Storage Bag, but there are only a few dozen scattered on the ground scattered in the corners and embedded in the cracks of rocks. It is not worth taking any more risks.
Just give it up when it's good, no need to fight.
Zhou Qi made a quick decision, tapped the ground with his toes, and turned into an afterimage of water waves, rushing towards the mine tunnel from where he came from at extremely high speed.
Several gophers came to kill them first, their sharp claws gleaming coldly.
Zhou Qi instantly unsheathed Startling Rainbow Saber, and swept out with a sweep of the sword. The sharp sword energy directly chopped several gophers away, blood spattered everywhere, and the corpses turned several times in the air and hit the stone wall, splashing a dark red.
However, the number of rats was too large, and black shadows continued to come in, blocking the mine tunnels.
In the midst of the chaos, a gopher that slipped through the net jumped behind him and slashed open his robe with its sharp claws. There was a burning pain on his back and three shallow blood stains suddenly appeared.
Zhou Qi gritted his teeth and endured the pain, without looking back or fighting. He poured all the Spiritual Power into his legs, pushing Tidal Escape Art to the extreme.
His figure was as erratic as water, and he nimbly shuttled through the narrow and crowded mine tunnels, barely avoiding being attacked by countless sharp claws, while at the same time slashing out with his backhand.
The sword flashed and the gopher who attacked was instantly split in half, with warm blood splattering all over his robe.
Ahead, the exit of the crack is vaguely visible.
Zhou Qi pushed the speed to the extreme, and the whole person was like an arrow, ejected from the narrow gap and landed heavily on the ground of the cave.
In the mine tunnel behind them, the furious group of gophers chased them to the exit, screaming and scurrying wildly, but further up was the ground, and those beasts did not dare to show their heads, so they could only howl at the other end.
Zhou Qi knelt on one knee, breathing heavily. Fortunately, the injury on his back was not too deep.
He took out a healing elixir from Storage Bag and stuffed it into his mouth. The medicine was released and the bleeding from the wound gradually stopped.
Insert Divine Sense into Storage Bag.
More than 1,200 Concentration Spirit Stones were neatly stacked in the bag, and the light cyan aura illuminated the entire Storage Spaces brightly.
Zhou Qi's mouth slowly opened and he smiled.
In this way, the certainty of having a baby in January is certain!
He stood up, patted the dust from the corner of his robe, and walked out of Spirit-Sealing Abyss.
